Admission’s Tips: the process

Last weekend, The Spanish national newspaper ABC published an article about the important steps a student has to complete in order to pass the rigorous admissions process of one of the best business schools in the world.

Julián Trigo, Director of the Admissions Department at IE Business School, and other members of the Admission Committee outlined several important aspects to succeed in this process:

Due to the limited number of places, it is recommended to start the process several months before the master starts or even a year in advance.

A candidate must possess a strong academic record and above all a huge personal motivation, to seal a place in a master. In addition, the candidate has to have a good knowledge of the program he/she is planning to study.

All the documentation that students send will be very useful to know more about the candidate: recommendation letters, plans after the master, language certificates, etc.

Sit the GMAT, GRE or in the case of IE, the IE Admissions test, which is aimed at an international audience. It is very practical and there is no need to prepare anything beforehand.

Get an interview. This is an important part because it is when the schools have the opportunity to meet the candidate and get to know them personally.
